West Brom star arrives for medical as multi-million deal agreed
West Brom goalkeeper Alex Palmer has arrived at Ipswich Town ahead of his medical, says Paul Gilmour.
The Premier League outfit has had a bid accepted for the Baggies star [Lewis Cox] who now looks set to complete a move to Portman Road.
A deal for the 28-year-old appears to be progressing quickly with Gilmour reporting to Sky Sports News on 3 February (4:48pm) that he has arrived for medical tests.
He said: “Alex Palmer, the West Brom goalkeeper, has arrived in Ipswich to take part in that medical. The medical is underway ahead of signing for Ipswich on deadline day.
“An initial fee of £2m with that potentially rising in excess of £4m with the add-ons.”
West Brom ace Alex Palmer to undergo Ipswich Town medical
The Albion shot-stopper has been one of the best and most consistent players at the Hawthorns in recent years and will be sorely missed.
As a result, It won’t come as a surprise that Premier League sides would be interested in securing his signature but it does come as a blow.
With it being so late in the winter window and the deadline just hours away, the Baggies have limited time to find a replacement.
Regardless of this, it appears that a deal is likely to go through with the Tractor Boys after Palmer completes his medical tests.
